Weird title. It sounds like the man shot a robber who was already dead 11 times.

In the story, from the location of the shots in the robber's body, it seems that it only took the one shot to the heart to kill the robber. Of course, we don't know if the killing shot was #1 or #11 or somewhere in-between.

I don't understand this statement: "It helped that the deceased robber was now identified as a murderer in the second case."

I thought that the guy the robber shot previously didn't die. "After his death, the robber was identified as the suspect in a shooting that happened two weeks earlier. In that case, a 35 year old victim was shot in the head and was later able to identify his attacker as the now deceased robber."

It would be interesting to know what the shooter used and the timeline of the shots. Oh, well.

I don't understand this statement: "It helped that the deceased robber was now identified as a murderer in the second case."

That statement is 100% pure BS because a criminal's past history has no bearing on a self defense shooting unless it can be proven that the person doing the shooting in self defense had prior knowledge of the criminal's history which would add to a reasonable fear.

I gave an example, and not the coroner's report of this shooting. If you come to a force-on-force class, I can easily show you how you are more likely to hit extremities than the torso in a close-up fight like this one. The real world is nothing like a 180-degree squared range.

For example, a natural reaction in a fight is to put arms and hands in front as protection against the other person. The robber was likely not prepared to actually use the gun as he did not fire a single shot. Once he realized that he was in over his head, he likely put his arms and hands in front, resulting in 8 hits to the arms.

Your argument in post #83 was that the shooter was a bad shot. My argument in post #88 was that you have no clue about self defense scenarios and that you didn't even bother to read the article before commenting.
